Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Lens Review

0

On 35mm cameras, the lens is in the starting area for wide angle, but to cut DSLR it is more of a standard lens. However, it is a very fast lens that can be applied in situations where “normal” lens is not able to deal with it. We take a look at how it performs.

Build and handling

Prime lenses, but can very easily, after some of the modern zooms and the simplicity of use makes it easier to achieve the build quality. A single focus ring is in front of a window, the classic distance with a useful depth-of-field scale marked pretty well sums up this lens. The only other control on the lens is the switch that changes the focus from manual autofocus.

The lens seems a little large compared to say, a 18-55mm zoom, but this is due to the wide aperture, this lens sport.

Autofocus is nearly silent at all on a 1D, very quickly through the USM motor and not hunting although it works a little think about it in dim light on a 300D. We only call attention, because it did little else to complain about the handling of this lens.

Optical power

As you would expect from a fixed focal length, especially with Canon’s famous L suffix, was the good optical performance. You will see from the chart that a gentle curve achieved with no wild jumps from one source to another, always the sign of a well-produced lens. In addition, possible to start from a decent performance wide open, showing that it is not beyond what it has been designed in advanced.

The only place, it is abandoned, and only slightly, is in the control of chromatic aberration. Since it is not a new lens and is initially designed for 35mm, has completed the inspection of these anomalies on a long way to come since the introduction of digital and this lens is located behind a little with modern techniques.

Verdict

The build quality and heritage of his lens is undeniable, and for full frame sensors or 35mm, it is still in the top group. As a standard prime on a cropped sensor dSLR it will do a good job, but could only be performed by some of the younger opposition.
